Instructions

1. Place 1 to 2 lbs. of morel mushrooms into a large bowl. Fill the bowl with water and let the mushrooms soak for at least 15 minutes to get rid of any dirt stuck in the crevices.

2. Remove the morels from the water. Dry the mushrooms thoroughly with a paper towel.

3. Crack two eggs into a large bowl, then whisk them until they are completely smooth. Add 2 cups of all purpose flour into another large bowl.

4. Pour 3/4 cup of vegetable oil into a large skillet on your stovetop. Set your stove to “medium high” to heat the oil.

5. Place the morel mushrooms into the whisked egg, then cover them in the all purpose flour. Shake off the mushrooms to remove any excess flour, then place them in a single layer into the oil.

6. Fry the morel mushrooms for one minute, then flip them over with a slotted spoon and fry them for one minute on the other side. Line a platter with paper towel, then remove the fried morels with a slotted spoon and transfer them onto the platter.

7. Sprinkle the fried morels with salt, then let them cool until you can safely handle them. Serve the fried morels while warm for the best taste and texture.
